Thermodynamics

Asked By: deemech | Asked On: Jul 11th, 2010

Why condenser is needed in steam power plant?

Answered by: quwer on: May 26th, 2012

first there is no compressor in steam power plant as compressor can be used only to compress gas not liquid. condenser is used in plant to condense the steam so that liquid water can be pumped to bo...

Answered by: ahmed mahmoud on: May 24th, 2012

The pressure at the end of turbine exit is low and the temperature is relatively high so the state of water (saturated or in wet region ) the pump compress only in incompressible fluids like water and dont compress vapor or (vapor + liquid water ) so it must be completely water

Fluid mechanics

Asked By: vijay m | Asked On: Dec 30th, 2009

What is shear force in fluid particle?

Answered by: nrj yadav on: May 23rd, 2012

The forces acting along the plane of fluid or perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of fluid particle will be called as shear force.

Answered by: glaro on: Feb 13th, 2012

For newtonian fluids Shear force(T) is directly proportional to velocity gradient(du/dx).
T = mu*du/dt . Where mu is the coefficient of viscosity..

Sheet metal forming

Asked By: maheshkumarsm | Asked On: Jul 3rd, 2011

After giving a bend to the sheet it will become rigid why?

Answered by: T240GUY on: May 20th, 2012

It acts to reinforce the metal. Similar to an i-beam. By adding a bend, it adds another axis to the metal which in turn reinforces the sheet. If you bend it again, it will become even more rigid.

Automobile silencer

Asked By: komalkulkarni | Asked On: Mar 9th, 2012

Some of high class sedan cars have two silencers why is that so? Does it actually help in economy of car? How?

Answered by: t240guy on: May 20th, 2012

The pressure of the exhaust inside the exhaust pipe decreases as it reaches the "silencer". This is because the silencer acts as a larger chamber for the exhaust to expand in. As the exhaust expands,...

Answered by: Avinash Narode on: May 2nd, 2012

Cooling of water

Asked By: vishal patil | Asked On: Aug 9th, 2011

Why the water collected below mud pot is cooler than that is in the pot?

Answered by: pramendra vishwakarma on: May 18th, 2012

in mud pot water get cool because upper surface of water has higher kinetic energy which is continuously come out from the pot hence water get cooled.

Answered by: vyshak on: Apr 24th, 2012

Because when the mud get wet it will absorb moisture from atmosphere which makes water inside cooler
